Authentic Hatch Chile Salsa Recipe

Ingredients

• 5 Hatch chile peppers, stems removed
• 1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with roasted garlic
• 0.5 onion, roughly chopped
• 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 pinch garlic powder, or to taste

Instructions

1. Position an oven rack approximately 6 inches from the broiler and preheat the broiler. Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
2. Place the Hatch chile peppers evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
3. Broil under the preheated broiler, rotating occasionally, until the skins of the peppers are blackened and blistered. This should take about 5 to 8 minutes.
4. Transfer the broiled Hatch chile peppers into a bowl. Seal the bowl tightly with plastic wrap to steam the peppers until they are cool enough to handle, approximately 20 minutes. Once cooled, peel and discard the skins from the chile peppers.
5. In a food processor or blender, combine the peeled Hatch chile peppers, diced tomatoes, diced tomatoes with roasted garlic, onion, cilantro, and garlic powder. Pulse the mixture until it reaches your preferred consistency. Serve and enjoy!
